  • Humans. We have been around for a while now. When we think about our past we think about ancient civilizations, the pyramids, stuff like that. But this is only a tiny, tiny part of our history.

    I love that note that life demanded more of early humans not just physically, but also mentally in many ways. It‘s easy for current humans (and I suppose that‘s always been the case) to be arrogant about historical humans‘ „intelligence“, and they‘re always confusing raw education with the ability to remember and abstractise the information that is available to you.

      Science is about the repeatable portion of reality, not things like common descent evolution that contradict repeatable reality, can only be believed in, and they call reasons to believe in it 'evidence'.
      The bottom line is the topic of the origin of all biological diversity is beyond the scope of science as beliefs, and reasons to believe in it, are all anyone can bring to the table.
      Here's what *is* science: A.k.a., well documented and published even in evolutionists' own papers (when they happen to include something that's actually observable, repeatable, verifiable biological, scientific fact when they're telling their common descent stories and why they believe in it) that demonstrates common descent from a first life form is anti-science. Science shows that it's observable, repeatable, verifiable scientific fact that, no matter how many generations go by,
      no matter how much "change in genetic composition during successive generations",
      no matter how much "change in allele frequencies",
      no matter how much "development of new species",

      animals that never had brains do not evolve brains
      animals that never had mouths do not evolve mouths
      living things that never had a reproductive system do not evolve a reproductive system
      animals that never had (insert organ here) remain living things without that organ, and so on.
      There are many more such groups.
      Science shows that the "common descent from a first life form" evolution (some call Darwinian evolution, some call theory of common descent) is anti-science.
      Evolutionist can never address these facts - many unfortunately just fall back on ad hominem, showing how they're seem to be really about deception that's contrary to actual science.

      One interesting thing to remember is, despite being isolated from bigger human society for thousands of years, evolution still happened more or less the same way to all us. Those isolated people still evolved to look similar to us and they have more or less the same mental and physical abilities like us. However, an actual person from 20,000 years ago would have drastically different mental and physical abilities than us and the isolated tribal people of today.

      @@GamerPro-wk8bz Sentinelese people. They live on North Sentinel island in the Bay of Bengal. The Indian government prohibits any travel to this island and the tribe living there are protected. This is mainly because of their violent reactions whenever someone tried to establish contact with them. In order to keep them safe from our diseases and risk their extinction, the government decided to just let them be. It's illegal to fish or sail within 5 nautical miles of that island. Though there is no proof of the Sentinelese being cannibals, you better not go there if you have a will to live.
      The Sentinelese have been isolated from the rest of the world for more than 50,000 years now. I have travelled to Andaman and Nicobar islands which are closest civilized places to the north sentinel island. I was fascinated to learn about the Sentinelese when I was in Andaman. You should definitely look it up. There's even videos of them shooting arrows at helicopters.

      @@Rokaize there are literally thousands and thousands of years of civilizations we know nothing about or how they achieved certain things. It’s a common thought that early civilizations weren’t as advanced etc but they are starting to find evidence to the contrary. There are things that don’t add up. Especially after the Roman’s destroyed massive amounts of history and rewrote a bunch of it. There is evidence of sophisticated architecture that was actually already in areas far before even some of the oldest civilizations settled there. Some places we still have no idea who built them and how. It’s pretty arrogant to think that humans existed for thousands of years but just in the last few hundred we achieved more then every single civilization put together? Naw. It’s more likely humans had a reset at one point and we don’t know anything.

    This is a lovely video, I love the message at the end!
    On a side-note, the title is a little misleading, since most of the video focused on breaking down human history. From the title, I thought there was going to be a deeper presentation on prehistoric humans, but that was skipped rather fast. The video was beautiful, nevertheless.

    I've always thought how incredible it is how quickly humanity seems to have went from having no widespread long distance communications at all to what we have today, all of which happened in the last 100 or so years and the world wide web only within the last 30. It really makes you think what the possibilities could be in another 25-50 years, within the lifespan of most people. I personally was born in the 90s, so lived a part of my childhood before it was as big as it is today, my family didn't get proper internet until broadband became popular in the mid 2000s.

      Apart from a few secluded cultures, most humans would fall under the "wuss-bag" category. I've never for a second thought one morning, "hey, some giant lion didn't eat me alive overnight...cool!". We've shielded ourselves from nature. I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing, as genetically we're insulating ourselves from outside stimuli.

      I would appreciate that if they were more inclusive. They don't even have animations of non-Europeans (even when those in question were not actually European or the development of Europeans had not even happened yet). All of humans throughout human history to the present were not Europeans. Most of present humanity is not European. This presentation combined with a focus on the Roman and Greek empires would really put this channel in line with white supremacists narratives of civilization.
